Too many dependencies

SUMMARY
I just wanted to install Okular on my Mac, but it takes too long time and heating up the CPU.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. 
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

2. 
brew install wget
brew untap kde-mac/kde 2> /dev/null
brew tap kde-mac/kde https://invent.kde.org/packaging/homebrew-kde.git --force-auto-update
(brew --repo kde-mac/kde)/tools/do-caveats.sh"

3. 
brew install kde-mac/kde/okular

I can not see any dependency there that is unneeded. I will be grateful if you can point which of those is unneeded.

Comment 2 Rapha 2020-09-09 11:00:31 UTC

Comment 3 Rapha 2020-09-09 11:03:51 UTC

I know from Linux that dependencies may exist. I am newby to installing Linux software on MacOS, so I didn't expect soo many dependencies. But this installation just took too long via Homebrew, and made my MacBook ventillator run fast for about one hour. The installation was successful with minor bugs, which I reported under: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=426338
